Modern Hebrew is phonetically simpler than Biblical Hebrew and has fewer phonemes, but it is phonologically more complex. It has 5 to 10 vowels, depending on the speaker and the analysis. Hebrew has been used for liturgical and scholarly purposes for most of the past two millennia; as a consequence, its pronunciation was influenced by the vernacular of individual Jewish communities. With the revival of Hebrew as a native language, with the establishment of Israel, the pronunciation of the modern language coalesced; the two main accents of modern Hebrew are Non-Oriental. Oriental Hebrew was chosen as the preferred accent for Israel by the Academy of the Hebrew Language, but has since declined in popularity; the description in this article follows the language as it is pronounced by native Israeli speakers of the younger generations. According to the Academy of the Hebrew Language, in the 1880s there were three groups of Hebrew regional accents: Ashkenazi and Mizrahi. Over time features of these systems of pronunciation merged, nowadays we find two main pronunciations of colloquial – not liturgical – Hebrew: Oriental and Non-Oriental.

Oriental Hebrew displays traits of an Arabic substrate. Old oriental speakers tend to use an alveolar trill, preserve the pharyngeal consonants /ħ/ and /ʕ/, preserve gemination, pronounce /e/ in some places where non-Oriental speakers do not have a vowel. A limited number of Oriental speakers, for example old Yemenite Jews maintain some pharyngealized consonants found in Arabic, such as /sˤ/ for Biblical /tsʼ/. Non-Oriental pronunciation lost the emphatic and pharyngeal sounds of Biblical Hebrew under the influence of Indo-European languages; the pharyngeals /ħ/ and /ʕ/ are preserved by older Oriental speakers. Dialectally, Georgian Jews pronounce /ʕ/ as, while Western European Sephardim and Dutch Ashkenazim traditionally pronounce it, a pronunciation that can be found in the Italian tradition and in south-west Germany. However, according to Sephardic and Ashkenazic authorities, such as the Mishnah Berurah and the Shulchan Aruch and Mishneh Torah, /ʕ/ is the proper pronunciation. Thus, it is still pronounced as such by some Ashkenazim.

The classical pronunciation associated with the consonant ר rêš /r/ was a flap, was grammatically ungeminable. In most dialects of Hebrew among the Jewish diaspora, it remained a trill. However, in some Ashkenazi dialects of northern Europe it was a uvular rhotic, either a trill or a fricative; this was because most native dialects of Yiddish were spoken that way, the liturgical Hebrew of these speakers carried the Yiddish pronunciation. Some Iraqi Jews pronounce rêš as a guttural, reflecting Baghdad Jewish Arabic. An unrelated uvular rhotic is believed to have appeared in the Tiberian pronunciation of Hebrew, where it may have coexisted with additional non-guttural articulations of /r/ depending on circumstances. Though an Ashkenazi Jew in the Russian Empire, the Zionist Eliezer Ben-Yehuda based his Standard Hebrew on Sephardi Hebrew spoken in Spain, therefore recommended an alveolar. However, just like him, the first waves of Jews to resettle in the Holy Land were Ashkenazi, Standard Hebrew would come to be spoken with their native pronunciation.

By now nearly all Israeli Jews pronounce the consonant ר rêš as a uvular approximant. Which exists in Yiddish. Many Jewish immigrants to Israel spoke a variety of Arabic in their countries of origin, pronounced the Hebrew rhotic consonant /r/ as an alveolar trill, identical to Arabic ر rāʾ, which followed the conventions of old Hebrew. In modern Ashkenazi and Mizrahi poetry and folk music, as well as in the standard Hebrew used in the Israeli media, an alveolar rhotic is sometimes used; the following table lists the consonant phonemes of Israeli Hebrew in IPA transcription: 1 Descriptions of /x/ vary between velar and uvular. In modern Hebrew /ħ/ for ח has been absorbed by /x/, traditionally only for fricative כ, though some older Mizrahi speakers still separate these. 2 The glottal consonants are elided in unstressed syllables, sometimes in stressed syllables as well, but are pronounced in careful or formal speech. In modern Hebrew /ʕ/ for ע has been absorbed by /ʔ/, traditionally only for א, though some speakers still separate these.

3 /r/ is pronounced as a uvular fricative or approximant, sometimes as a uvular or alveolar trill or alveolar flap, depending on the background of the speaker. Nurit Dekel gives an additional alternative velar fricative. 4 The phonemes /w, dʒ, ʒ/ were introduced through borrowings. 5 The phoneme /tʃ/ צ׳ was introduced through borrowings, but it can appear in native words as a sequence of /t/ ת and /ʃ/ שׁ as in תְּשׁוּקָה /tʃuˈka/. For some young speakers, obstruents assimilate in voicing. Voiceless obstruents become voiced when they appear before voiced obstruents, vice versa. For example: לִסְגֹּר /lis'ɡoʁ/ >, /s/ > זְכוּת /zxut/ >, /z/ > חֶשְׁבּוֹן /xeʃ'bon/ >, /ʃ/ > מַדְפֶּסֶת /mad'peset >, /d/ > אַבְטָחָה /avta'xa/ > ('security
